Male nurse. A smug, wannabe doctor with an online doctorate in a field named after breastfeeding.
Boltsrna: Oh, I totally could’ve gotten into medical school. But as a male I felt more called toward nursing. Look at me breaking gender barriers!

Physician

The noblest of all professions. Sacrifice at least 11 years after high school and incur $200,000+ debt in the pursuit of knowledge to care for you and your loved ones.
The physician spent four years in undergrad, four years in medical school, 3-7 years in residency, and then 1-2 years in fellowship before practicing.

Physician

Heroes = MD or DO. Medical Doctors go to school for over a decade and take on exorbitant debt to become competent leaders of the healthcare team. Pre-Med students must be at the top of their college class and do well on the 8-hour MCAT entrance exam as medical schools accept 1-4% of applicants and are actually brick and mortar as opposed to online. Med students study for 60-80 hours a week and take countless high-stakes exams including the Boards. Afterward, they are expected to work 80-100 hours a week as residents for meager pay before finally being an attending physician and continuing to work long hours. Their road is hard, but their calling is high.
To find a physician, make sure they have MD or DO on their nametag
